Subject: Licorice flavor profile and it's avoidance
|
I simultaneously installed a PID on my Silvia and roasted/rested a
batch of a new espresso blend I've not tried before.
The flavor of licorice is far too strong for my tastes, I would
describe it as overwhelming, and the aftertaste of the licorice lasts,
for me, an eternity.
I don't like it.
I'm guessing it is the blend itself.
Is there a specific coffee that has licorice character or would you be
more likely to believe it's my PID settings?
I want to avoid it.

Licorice flavors often present themselves in beans roasted into Full City+ and
Vienna. Try a lighter roast. Dan

Thank you, Dan.
It _is_ a darker roast than my "normal" stop point.
I appreciate the advice.

Good brazils have licorice flavors; go hotter.

Thank you, Jim. I hoped you might answer.
Do you know of a resource where I could have found that out myself?
I googled the heck out of it and got nothing.

It's what "rooty" or "sassafras," both often applied to Brazils, i.e.
Dr. Pepper flavors, turn into when you roast them to a rolling second
crack. Dan is right, lighter roasts will avoid it too.

Thanks to you both, it's appreciated.
This batch _is_ a darker roast level than I usually produce, on the
recommendation of the blender/seller.
